Just as a flower gives out its fragrance to whomsoever approaches or uses it, so love from within us radiates towards everybody and manifests as spontaneous service. -- Swami Ramdas
There. That is the essence of the consciousness of God to which we aspire. Just as a lily of the valley does not withhold its fragrance from the "undeserving," nor give out its fragrance to the "deserving," our higher consciousness is, just as God is. Whether we know it or not.
To self-determine to whom we will give love or even how is self, delusioned. Face it, that's a judgment dressed in ermine and pearls...pretty as a picture, and useless as teats on a bull...hug it and kiss it and let it go.
To strive, scurry, study, brow-beat and wail seeking to "get there" is not entirely useless...it keeps our focus higher. Ah, but higher in the egoic mind is still ego driving our bus seeking to get to our self-determined "there."
We prepare...we keep our candle lit and pared, we pray thank you without ceasing, knowing every oh-no! is ego resisting love. We resist it not and go about our dailies, and that is all.
God is available. Whatever bit, part, nugget we realize as love is close enough for God...why not us?
Thank you.
